I have not read the book, but in the past couple days I have been visiting the setapartgirl.com website, and it has really helped me. I have been having trouble with letting go of bitterness and being quick to forgive, and reading some articles in the back issues of Leslie Ludy's webzine have really helped.

Unlike "Authentic Beauty," I think that it can be read by girls of a reasonably young age - say, 13, with strong parental guidence. Honestly, I wish I'd read this book when I was 13 and lived a more set-apart existence during my teen years, motivated not by what other people expected but by what God wanted. On the other hand, I love, love, love that fact that "Set-Apart Femininity" is not a book for teens or collegites or singles or marrieds - but for ALL young Christian women, however old and however single or married! :) Gretchen, I’m so glad you shared your thoughts about “Set-Apart Femininity” – out of all the books I read last year (’08), it was probably my favourite, in as much as it touched my heart and changed my life more than all the other books I read.

I am sure there is a good message in it, but to many graphic examples. I haven't personally read it, but my mom has. Set-Apart Femininity is definitely a great book. Some chapters have challenged our entire family. It is really amazing and challenging. I definitely agree with you on Authentic Beauty.

I would say that some of these girls are definitely sheltered (probably even more than I was when I was a teenager). But we are going to look through quite a few materials this week and see if we can find something appropriate. And I appreciate all the book reviews y'all do on here. It's so nice to have recommendations for books that are truly uplifting!! Thanks!

I would definitely not recommend <i>Authentic Beauty</i> for that wide of an age group. <i>Set Apart Femininity</i> was much more appropriate for all ages, but it would depend on how "sheltered" your group was if they would find a few references (mostly in the first chapter) objectionable. But you'd probably have to read it for yourself with your group in mind. I do recommend it unhesitatingly for older teens/young adults. That’s really hard to say, Katie.

I think the graphic details did more harm to my purity than the good parts to help me, but this new book sounds good!

Though it looks different and won't always be comfortable, there is so much joy and peace to be found in being set-apart for our Lord! I wholeheartedly agree with your review!

We are currently trying to start a bible study in our area for the young Christian women. We recently had quite a few of the young women in our home school group come to the Lord, and we would like to include them as well. But we are trying to find a bible study that could be used for girls aged 14-24. It's kind of hard to find.... we don't want to compromise the innocence of the younger girls, but we want it to be edifying to all. Would you recommend this book for young teenage girls (about 14)?

God has been teaching me a lot about being set-apart lately so when I saw the title, my jaw dropped open! I just recently ordered two of Leslie's books and am now looking forward to reading them more than ever! As always, thank you for this wonderful Fellowship. Thank you for the convicting post.
